After a 5 year struggle with anorexia (with purging tendencies), depression, self harm and over exercising I have now been recovered for 4 years and i use my blog to help others in the same situation i once was.
I am now a happy and positive person who wants to inspire those struggling to choose recovery and to take control over life and happiness again!

Life without Anorexia

My motto is 'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

My life at the moment is completely different to how it once was. I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia and depression as well as struggling with self harm and overexercising. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.

And since 2012 i have been declared healthy from my eating disorder.

I have been blogging for 7 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.

I now blog about recovery, my life, veganism and positivity!

I am sorry for the lack of update on my blog recently. Stomach pain, tiredness and studying has been the reason for that as well as not having anything to write about. But i now have 5 days with no lectures (just studying for my test) so i thought i would try to make one or two videos answering your questions - but also try to write some posts!

So.... I am planning to make a video about veganism - so if you have any vegan related questions ask me i.s whether its food related or how i feel, or noticed any differences or just my opinions or thoughts or any advice you might want.

And then if you have any other questions whether its about my life, university, eating disorder help/advice etc and i will do my best to answer the questions or write a post about the topics :)

And lastly i might make a video talking about my depression, depending on how i feel and whether i feel ok publishing it online or if i just want to write.... who knows! And of course some time within the next few weeks i will try to make a "what i eat in a day video" but as i have had so much stomach pain and just lived on basic food it isnt so much to show, hahah.

I hope you are doing ok and have a lovely weekend and a lovely day :) I am going to enjoy my study free day today as i need a break from all the theories and abstract knowledge i am trying to learn! :)

How do you think going vegan has helped your tummy pains?Have you noticed an improvement in your moods since going vegan - do you feel more/less energetic/ noticed a difference in your skin, nails and hair?Would you consider a relationship with a non-vegan?Have you started using vegan friendly household cleaners/make-up?Is vegan eating more/less expensive than your previous diet?Do you miss eggs or quark?

I think its great that you are planning a video - look forward to seeing it :)

Are you aiming to study your uni course in one go, or take a break between years?How long does your uni course last?Do you think you will move back home for your long summer break from uni or stay/work in Gothenberg?Are any of your fellow students vegan?What do you think about people feeding their pets a vegetarian/vegan diet?What has been the best thing about your course so far? The worst? (if there is one)How many hours do you commit to private study a day/week?Do you look forward to days off from uni/weekends or would you rather just work through?Are you getting on with your flat mate alright? Do you see living there long term or are you going to look for something else?

Do you think making the move to Gothenberg has helped your depression - ie given you a much needed lift?How are you coping with being independent again?Are you still in close contact with your mum ie able to talk to her about things?Do you plan to go home for Christmas?What is the social scene like at uni?would you consider moving into halls of residence if you got the chance - therefore living with other students or do you prefer to have a separate "space" from uni?

Would you date someone who is not vegan?Hhow often do you workout now and what type of workouts do you do? and for how long?What are your best tips for starting university?do you think you are fully recovered from your depression?what are your best tips for being happy and positive?

Hi! I just wanted to ask what your family/relatives and friends think of your decision to go vegan? Were your parents supporting of your decision or did they try to change your mind? I want to go vegetarian so so bad, but my parents wont let me because of my bulimia (which I am almost recovered from! :D ). We sort of made a deal that I can eat vegetarian food if I eat meat at least once a week and if I am offered food at friends or relatives places I have to eat that food even if it includes meat. Do you think this is a good compromise? The reason I want to go vegetarian is that I simply don't like the taste or consistency of meat, and I shouldn't have to eat something I don't like, right? Do you think I should keep try to convince my parents that vegetarianism is good for me or should I just let it go?

Do you watch any tv shows? What are your favourite films? what are your favourite series? Do you have full rest days or active rest days? Do you think you will always blog/work with eating disorders? Are you planning on changing the name of your blog? love your blog, thank you so much for all your advice and help over the years <3

I'd love to hear about your study tips and habits in University! Are you a paper/pencil person, or do you use your computer more? How do you keep your self motivated and focused while working? Any tips for balancing academics, social life, eating, sports, etc?What are some good foods to eat on-the-go between classes when you literally have 10 minutes for lunch?

what do you do when you are lonely or miss home? i have just moved away to uni and i feel so lonely all the time and miss my family :(what are your best tips for when you first move away from home? what are the essential items to pack or buy when you move away from home?

do you like university better now or before? which apartment do you like better the one you are in now or before? do you like gothenburg or the other city better or stockholm?do you want to live on your own or with others?

Do you think you would rather live with other students around the same age as you?Do you think being independent again has helped your depression?Do you still get anxiety or has that lessened now you are actually at uni and done with moving etc, finding your way around?what are your tutors like?what aspect of your course are you most looking forward to/least looking forward to?where did you learn all your exercise techniques? how do you plan your workouts?do you prefer to workout alone or with someone?are you disciplined when it comes to working out - ie have a set time/goal in mind?how often do you go running?have you another run coming up anytime soon?what is your favourite vegan food?
